It is no longer news that the 30th Convocation Ceremony of
the prestigious University of Calabar, Calabar held yesterday
being 11th of March, 2017 for the graduating set of
2014/2015 Academic Session and some 2015/2016 Set.
The glamorous ceremony took place at the University
Stadium with many notable dignitaries in attendance.
A total of 22 graduating Students bagged First Class honors
(Highest in the history of the University, established in
1975), 2,408 graduated with Second Class Upper, 5,890,
Second Class lower (Which my humble self graduated with),
2,900 will go home with Third Class while 1,000
Graduants will take home a Pass certificate (I for no
collect). From various department.
Many where shocked when the ‘award price’ of N10,000
(Ten Thousand Naira) for the Overall Best Graduating
Student was announced. Mr. Agala Egbe topped his mates
with an outstanding CGPA of 4.89 (over 5.00) no be beans
oooo if u know UNICAL.
He bagged his first class certificate from the Department of
Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). He is from Abi LGA in
Cross River State. For me, this is indeed a slap to hard work
coming from the University Management.
